R help - Sep 2009 - What is the difference between read.delim and read.delim2?

Hi,

I don't see what the difference between read.delim and read.delim2
after reading the help. Can somebody let me know what it is?

Regards,
Peng

It's pretty subtle, I will admit, but look more carefully at the dec=  
parameter in the help page. Kind of like the historical battles  
between between the Liebnizians and the Newtonians.
